Abstract
In recent decades, the story of the growth in photonics across a wide range of consumer and industrial applications is also the story of compound semiconductors. From data storage to optical communications, advances in compound semiconductor technologies are driving the revolution on photonics enabled devices that will be central to next generation applications from 5G communications to driverless vehicles and from machine vision to a host of healthcare diagnostics and treatments. Behind all of these technological developments a globally important technology powerhouse has been quietly evolving in the UK, centred around South East Wales. This growing cluster has been centred around a strong industrial base of global semiconductor businesses including IQE, Newport Wafer Fab and SPTS, backed by world-class academic expertise at Cardiff and Swansea Universities. This presentation will discuss how compound semiconductor and photonics technologies are intertwined and will continue to be powerful partners for generations to come.
